Hi Nanny Jen

Thank you, I will ask them

Have just seen your recent post re above, whilst you have probably found the information you requested by now I can confirm that Wallingford had a home in the 30's I believe the address was No 1 Wantage Road, Wallingford.   Regards Anna

Hi Anna,

 thank you for the address, do you know anything about the place at all?

Bonjour Markswife,  I believe that the un-married section was part of a Hospital,  (the address is correct) and have checked my Husbands Birth Certificate as he was born there.  When we were tracing his Birth Mother etc I believe we some how found a picture of the place.  Hope this helps   Anna

To add to the above post, it would appear that the Hospital/Alms House are listed as the Herbert Morrell Memorial Hospital and the Angier Almshouse.  These building were demolished in 1929 and then re-built and I believe the Alms Houses were the Home.  Cheers Anna

Hi Anna

Thank you for the information on the home, and I am spending some more time researching.

Thanks
